Effect of Genetic Variants in MATE1 and OCT3 on the Pharmacodynamics of Metformin in African Americans

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The current study is part of a large multi-investigator grant to look at the pharmacogenetics of a number of membrane transporters. The investigators will study individuals with particular genotypes of the human organic cation transporter, (hOCT3), and the multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter, MATE1 to test the hypothesis that genetic variation in hOCT3 and hMATE1 are associated with variation in the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of the antidiabetic agent, metformin.

  • Renal Clearance of the Metformin [Time Frame: 24 hours post-dose] [Designated as safety issue: No]To test whether individuals with genetic variants of transporters OCT3 and MATE1 exhibit altered pharmacokinetics of metformin.
  • Plasma glucose [Time Frame: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes after glucose administration] [Designated as safety issue: No]To test whether individuals with genetic variants of transporters OCT3 and MATE1 exhibit altered glucose lowering response to metformin.

Brief Summary
The current study is part of a large multi-investigator grant to look at the
pharmacogenetics of a number of membrane transporters. The investigators will study
individuals with particular genotypes of the human organic cation transporter, (hOCT3), and
the multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter, MATE1 to test the hypothesis that genetic
variation in hOCT3 and hMATE1 are associated with variation in the pharmacokinetics and/or
pharmacodynamics of the antidiabetic agent, metformin.
Detailed Description
To investigate the potential association of polymorphic genetic variants MATE1 and OCT3 with
altered response to metformin, a genotype to phenotype strategy is employed. Specifically,
the investigators will evaluate this hypothesis in African-Americans, a population which has
a high incidence of type 2 diabetes and which has high variant allele frequencies (44.5% for
MATE1-66T>C and 11.3% in OCT3-81G>delGA) relative to other ethic groups. To assess the
effects of these variants on metformin response, the investigators will measure metformin
renal clearance (pharmacokinetics of metformin), and plasma glucose and insulin levels
(pharmacodynamic response) in healthy and diabetic patients who carry either the reference
or variant alleles.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Subjects self-identify racial background, identify themselves, parents and four
grandparents as African American

- Subject status is healthy volunteer from t In the event that diabetes is indicated in
a normal subject based on OGTT results, we will notify the patients' primary care
physician. he SOPHIE cohort OR diagnosis of T2DM based on American Diabetes
Association (ADA) criteria

- Subjects over 18 years old and below 60 years

- Subjects who are healthy on the basis of medical history, physical examinations and
laboratory tests if healthy volunteer from SOPHIE

- Subjects who agree with the written informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

- Unable to confirm African-American ethnicity

- Under 18 years old

- Pregnant or lactating women (female subjects will have a urine pregnancy test at the
screening visit).

- Prior history of any allergic reaction to metformin

- Has a risk of congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic treatment (medical
history)

- Has a prior history of renal* or hepatic dysfunction (renal and hepatic function will
be evaluated based on screening blood tests conducted prior to study enrollment)

- Risk of urinary or gastric retention or narrow-angle glaucoma (by medical history
examination)

- Impaired renal function (e.g as suggested by abnormal creatinine clearance, eGFR <60
or serum creatinine >1.4 mg/dl in females and >1.5 mg/dl in males) which may also
result from conditions such as cardiovascular collapse (shock), acute myocardial
infarction (heart attack), and septicemia, abnormal heart rhythms (tachyarrhythmias;
heart beat > 100 beats per minute).

- Impaired hepatic function (> 1.5 times the upper limit of normal)

- Evidence of anemia (hemoglobin <10 g)

- Taking a medication that could confound study results, such as known substrates or
inhibitors of OCT3 and MATE1, such as cimetidine.

- They do not provide consent to participate in the study.
